For the first time in the 17 years and 4 days of my life, yours truly was late for school. I woke up at 7.40am. Took 5 minutes to brush my teeth, don my uniform, grab my bag, a comb, wear my shoes and rush out of the house. I reached school at 7.50am. And of course, was late. Morning assembly was over, everyone had gone to class and I still had to go to the General Office to sign the Late Form. Geez. Which just made me even more late for Bio tutorial.

Today during MTOP, we organized a Math Trail for the P5 kids to play. For the first time, I had to go over to Park View Primary to fetch those kids over to MJ. It was... an unforgettable experience. I shall not dwell on it. But my mentee was so sweet. He saw me and went "Hi Jie Jie Valerie!" Haha! So cool to be called a jie jie man! Then I smiled and greeted him back in return. Then he gave me candy. Hahaha. How sweet.

Anyway, the Math Trail took a really long time. And I was late for the group date to Esplanade. By the time I got to City Hall, Marc, Talz and Kenneth were already at MPH. Lol. So then we went to Marina Square Food Loft for dinner along with Chuan, who came later. Chamberesque is going big! Woo hoo! =D

We then went to Esplanade Library to immerse ourselves in music and scores, and in Kenneth's case, his Econs notes. Hahaha. Man, I tell you, the ambience was sooo damn friggin' nice. I was totally intoxicated. Soft, romantic ambience. Lush comfy sofas. Cool, chilly air-con. And overlooking the Waterfront and Singapore River. I was simply drowning and immersed in it all. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. The play of the city lights on the gentle ripples on the waters. The soft twinkle of the stars set against the inky blackness of the night sky. Goodness... such is the epitome of enjoyment in life.

After we feasted our eyes and minds sufficiently with the scores and etc. We walked over to One Fullerton and sat down beside the Merlion and ate cookies while we chatted and laughed about our lives. Marc complained of a diarrhoea and when he didn't return after a gazillion years, Talz went off to search for him. Then, haha, I continued chatting with Kenneth and Chuan. And all of a sudden! "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!" Haha, Talz and Marc appeared with a lovely chocolate cake balanced on top of the flattened Breadtalk box, modified into a tray. And it's tiramisu!! Oh my Goodness! Then I made my birthday wish, cut the cake, distributed it and we all sat down to enjoy tiramisu cake. Goodness goodness goodness. I am SOOO friggin' HAPPY! I haven't been this happy since... what, months and months ago! My gosh! Perfect setting, romantic ambience, lovely company and my favourite spot in Singapore to boot. I was so happy I wanted to dance on the streets! Gosh.

Guys, thank you sooo much! Thanks for the gifts! Thanks for the cake! Thanks for the thought and sincerity! And thanks for being my friends!
